Fowler was originally listed as a game-time decision, but he is on the ice for pre-game warmups and Luca Sbisa is not, so Fowler will return. Fowler has not played since March 16th because of a leg injury. He will be paired with Stephane Robidas.
Quick allowed two goals on 40 shots in a loss to the Canucks. Quick has won six of 10 games with a 2.08 GAA and .920 SV%. He will likely be going for his 28th win of the year. He has gone 1-1-0 with a 1.50 GAA and .940 SV% vs. the Flames this season.
Thomas stopped 15 of 16 shots after replacing Kari Lehtonen last Thursday. Thomas is 2-2-1 with a 3.37 GAA and .891 SV% with Dallas this season. He will look to further the Stars lead on the Coyotes with a win tonight. Thomas will start the game down 1-0.

Bobrovsky will start the game up 1-0 and never lost to the Stars in regulation in his NHL career. Bobrovsky has followed his Vezina Trophy winning season up with 30 wins, a 2.42 GAA and .921 SV%. He is the real deal when it comes to NHL level goaltending.
